I was looking in the forum for ending teases properly and found this from seraph0x.

I'm guilty of not ending my teases properly.

Is there a way to make a page “the end” other than using your text or simply not giving the last page anywhere to go? (FLASH) I have been just leaving the end pages without anywhere to go. Sometimes giving a hint in the text that the tease is over. I have had a couple people message me asking where the rest of the teases are though. I haven’t always used text to let the viewer know it is the end. Is there an end# page designation that can be entered into the flash editor to announce the end like start# is obviously the start? Thank You!

I usually put in the Text

<The end>
and include the <> in my writting

The tease with "hidden" content
actualy goes on after what looks like the end..

you simply call the last page "endpage#" and give it nowhere to go, then it should end like usual.

I had this discussion with a couple users a while ago as well. This is mostly about flash as the end of regular teases has the voting page that makes the end obvious.

For me, on the last page of a flash tease, the pink sidebar where timers or buttons usually display disappears on the last page, so I know where the last page is. Even when there is a hidden timer, the pink sidebar remains, so I know the tease isn't over yet. So for me, it was always obvious.

However, after discussing this with a few others, I found that this is not the case for everyone, so they don't know when the tease ends unless you specifically tell them in the text. So...I started adding <End of Tease> on the last page. It's a simple solution to help them out and doesn't require much effort on my part.

Point is...not giving the last page anywhere to go, or marking it as #endpage when you write it, doesn't help here as neither of those things are visible to people when they are viewing the tease. So, yes, the only way for them to be sure is to put it in the text on the last page.
